Role overview

Set product direction and own the roadmap for a mobile-first, free-to-play live-service game in pre-production, with potential to span multiple platforms.

Responsibilities

- Direct free-to-play systems and live operations in partnership with game design, keeping them connected to core gameplay. - Define and communicate a clear product narrative that helps teams and senior stakeholders align around outcomes. - Own roadmaps, set priorities, and establish ways to weigh opportunities and trade-offs across features and systems. - Assess ideas for player value, product goals, market potential, creative fit, and free-to-play viability; give actionable feedback and strengthen proposals. - Guide multidisciplinary teams toward a cohesive service that brings gameplay, monetization, and social features together. - Use market trends, player behavior, and quantitative evidence to inform decisions, and explore emerging tools and technologies that could improve development or player experiences.

Requirements

- A track record leading successful free-to-play game development for mobile. - Strong understanding of why games succeed, especially in the midcore mobile free-to-play market. - Experience taking products through the lifecycle from concept and pre-production to launch and live operations. - Ability to make progress amid ambiguity, particularly during early development, while maintaining both strategic direction and executional focus. - Experience with licensed intellectual property and its creative and brand considerations. - Strong communication, storytelling, and influencing skills across creative, design, engineering, and executive teams. - Quantitative fluency and sound judgment about what metrics can and cannot tell a team.
